~ Bellefonte, Pa., September 20, 1912. ~ Conservation Association Pro- tet Stale Resources BIG CAMPAIGN 1S STMTED Prominent Engineer Will Make Ad- dresses in Various Parts of Pennsyl- vania to Educate People as to Value of Water That Now Causes Floods. Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 19.—The first comprehensive attempt to place the control of floods upon a sensible, | business like basis is now being made by the Water Conservation Associa- tion of Pennsylvania, an organization recently formed for the purpose of | solving the flood problem, for giving | the state better control over its water | resources and for giving a real money | value to the rivers and streams in! Pennsylvania. The organization is made up of va- rious persons throughout the state in- terested In conservation, in water supply and water power. The president | is Morris Knowles, an engineer of | Pittsburgh who had much to do with ! the preparation of the report of the} Flood Commission of that city which shows how the flood problem can be | effectively solved in Pennsylvania. A.’ B. Farquhar of York, president of the Pennsylvania branch of the National | Conservation Association, is a mem- | ber of the executive committee of the | new organization and takes a promi- | nent part in its deliberations. The other members of the executive com- mittee are C. La Rue Munson, of Wil- | Hamsport; W. 8S. Kuhn, John B. Eichenauer and George S. Davison, of | Pittsburgh; and J. E. Aldred, of New | York. W. B. Bennett, a Harrisburg engineer, is secretary. i The Flood Commission of Pittsburgh | was one of the leaders in formulating | the plans for the Water Conservation Association. This Commission con- templates the erection of a number | of dams for the purpose of storing water during the flood season and re- | leasing it during the summer months | to supplement the low-water flow. ! Its comprehensive report shows that | there are enormous possibilities for water control on the watersheds of the rivers flowing past Pittsburgh and the conditions applying to these streams are applicable in all parts of the state. It shows further that un- der wise state control water power can be developed in conjunction with storage dams for flood prevention and navigation, and that if all three objects are combined in one project a great saving will result. | Investigation shows that the laws of | Pennsylvania at the present time are | inadequate to cope with the question | of water resources in the state. These matters are in charge of the Water | i respect which are very limited, and fit was | for the purpose of having its powers | made adequate that the Flood Com- | mission is aiding the water power | and water supply companies in the | state that are willing to assist in broadening the powers of the Water Supply Commission or of a Public Util- | | ities Commission, if such body is au- | thorized by the next legislature. | The purpose of the new association | is to have proper remedial legislation | enacted. In order that the people of | the state will have full knowledge of the possibilities of water control a statewide educational campaign i# in progress. President Knowles is mak- ing addresses in various parts of the state to fully acquaint the people with all the details. | River Regulation In Pennsylvania. - River district conservation eork has been preached 30 many years as the correct solution of many hydraulic and sanitary engineering problems that the slightest approach to it in any part of this country is worth mentioning. The idea that the con- ditions in each river basin were local and should be treated independently of those in other basins first received public approval ir England, where the increasing pollution of rivers made it necessary to exercise some sort of |, control over the use of each stream from its source to its mouth. Some- thing of the same sort is now to he pro seen in the Emscher district in Ger- many, in the sanitary control of the il streams of Massachusetts by the Board of Health of that state, and in some other places. It is not often, however, that any attempt is made io control the river districts upon other grounds than that of sanitation. This is not surprising, perhaps, in view of the trifling use made of small water powers in this country and the disuse of most streams for navigable pur- poses. It appears, however, that the plans of the Pittsburgh Flood Com- mission are meeting with encouraging cooperation from parties interested in power development. In Marylani, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia mim water power developments are being considered with a view to their joint development by their promoters and the flood commission. The idea is to their maximum serviceability for hoth | rei; flood prevention and power production shall be obtained, the expense of the works to be borne jointly in somo equitable ratio.—Engineering Record.
